Unraveling

I’m sinking ships, lips are loose
I can cope any way I choose
And I have not cried in three whole days
That was back in my sober phase
In your ivory tower, standing tall
You’re watching me stumble through the halls
And you taught yourself to disconnect from your regret
And everything I live to forget
Wide-eyed wonder, where did you go?
I’m unraveling, ooh
Pagan cynic, constant critic, friend to a foe
I’m unraveling, ooh
Callous stare, face obtuse
You can leave any day you choose
I have not lied the past three days
My body lags, need to keep the pace
In a place that’s ours, white-washed walls
You’re watching me stumble to a fall
'Cause you taught yourself to misdirect, to disconnect
From everything I live to forget
Wide-eyed wonder, where did you go?
I’m unraveling, ooh
Pagan cynic, constant critic, friend to a foe
I’m unraveling, ooh
I much prefer you the way that I found you
And I hate who I am when I am around you
But you’re far away and I need you close to me
A sad simple truth that’s lost in the irony
